Sunday 25 August – history was made. Through tremendous performances, both of our QAFLW teams clinched premiership wins in their respective Grand Finals. These victories are a testament to the determination of all involved, highlighting the strength of our women’s football program. Our dedication to growing the female program is evident, with 35% of our 500 junior players being female, offering a clear pathway to senior and reserves competition in the QAFLW division. This is fuelled further as Kaylee Kimber, the standout player in the Senior Grand Final, has now been signed by the Western Bulldogs AFLW squad. Kaylee is amongst eleven female players in the last three years who have transitioned from Southport Sharks to an AFLW team, showcasing our commitment to developing talent within our ranks. This success reinforces our focus on expanding the investment into female facilities and continuing the growth of our game outlined in the club's Master Plan. A huge congratulations once again to our players, coaching staff, and all involved in this remarkable achievement. The club couldn’t be prouder of your passion and hard work! #southportforever
